AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007] The mechanism includes a buoyant backrest assembly and a buoyant seat assembly. The buoyant seat assembly has the impermeable flexible bag and a sensor that activates when submerged in the body of water to deploy the impermeable flexible bag. The impermeable flexible bag encloses a child or infant to help prevent the child or infant from swallowing water and possibly drowning until reaching a surface of the body of water.
[0012] It is another object of the present invention to provide a safety booster seat that enables a child or infant to be housed within an impermeable flexible bag to float to a surface of water.
[0013] It is another object of this invention to provide a safety booster seat that is lightweight.
[0014] It is another object of the present invention to provide a safety booster seat that is easily transportable.
[0016] It is yet another object of this invention to provide such a device that is inexpensive to manufacture and maintain while retaining its effectiveness.

Problems solved by technology

Embodiment Construction

[0031] Referring now to the drawings, where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that it basically includes backrest assembly 20 and seat assembly 60.

[0032] As seen in FIG. 1, backrest assembly 20 comprises backrest 22 having sidewall 24. At a top area of sidewall 24 is zipper assembly 27 comprising pull-tab 26 secured to zipper tape 28. Zipper assembly 27 contains a survivor kit. In the preferred embodiment, the survivor kit contains items typically necessary for emergencies such as, but not limited to, a flashlight, glass shattering tool, floatation devices, whistles, neon lights, and an emergency mask 220, seen in FIGS. 4, 4a, and 4b. The survivor kit includes a strap for a user to grasp it by, not seen. Zipper assembly 27 may also contain other items for storage such as clothes, diapers, wipes, toys, medicine, bandages, etc. Sidewall 24 has belt latch 30 that is height adjustable at slots 32. A user may adjust the height of belt lat...

Abstract

A buoyant safety seat comprising a seat assembly and backrest assembly. The seat assembly has an integrated safety bag system that activates upon submersion in a liquid, such as water, and emergency equipment. The integrated safety bag system deploys a bag to enclose a small individual and assist them to the surface of water. Housing the small individual helps prevent the child or infant from swallowing water and possibly drowning.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to seats for vehicles, and more particularly, to safety booster seats for children. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Several designs for booster seats have been designed in the past. None of them, however, include a buoyant booster seat comprising a safety bag system that enables a child or infant to be housed within an impermeable flexible bag to float to a surface of water in the event of a vehicle accident [0005] There are no similar safety booster seats to the best of applicant's knowledge, having an integrated safety bag system that activates upon submersion in a liquid, such as water, and emergency equipment. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] A mechanism for enclosing a child or infant in a seat assembly comprising an impermeable flexible bag that is capable of retaining a predetermined amount of air to provide temporary, yet critical, oxygen in an emergency situation...
